Owned and run by the Kelly family, Newhaven Park is one of those prolific stakes producing vendors that yearling buyers gravitate towards and there is never a long wait for the next stakes-winner to come along from their Boorowa based farm.
Heading into the Inglis Premier Sale starting on Sunday, bonnie filly The Playwright, is the latest Newhaven Park bred and sold stakes-winner taking out the Group III ATC Widden Stakes before running a brave fourth in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes last weekend.
A $60,000 yearling purchase for Tricolour Syndications, she has returned over $800,000 providing a fabulous return for her happy owners.
Newhaven Park will present 15 yearlings at Inglis Premier by nine different sires and six in the draft are by Newhaven Park’s proven sire Xtravagant, who is enjoying a good season with quality sprinter Nadal leading the way thanks to his lucrative win in the $1million Ladbrokes The Meteorite last spring.
Headlining the draft is the half-brother by Nicconi to outstanding three year-old filly Bellatrix Star, who reeled of three successive stakes wins last spring including the Group II MRC Schillaci Stakes against older horses before her game second to Switzerland in the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes.
Offered as Lot 20, this powerhouse chestnut colt is the fifth foal from Alana’s Party, who is the dam of three winners including Nicconi gelding Country Party, who has won twice in Hong Kong since the catalogue went to print.
This colt is bred on a very successful nick with Nicconi producing 13 winners from 14 runners out of Exceed and Excel mares with multiple Group placed stakes-winner Scorched Earth the best of them.
